They look over-sharpened. You may need to tone down your USM parameters a little for such small images.

Try applying sharpening after the resize - not before

Looks to me like the resizing method could be "nearest neighbour" rather than the recommended "bicubic" ?

When you saved to jpeg how much compression did you use?
